How we’re regulated
We are regulated by the Office of Rail and Road for our stewardship of the rail infrastructure
TheOffice of Rail and Road (ORR)是英国铁路的独立经济和安全监管机构。它拥有一系列法定权力，以便在我们运营铁路网络的合同和财务框架中。
It sets the targets we have to achieve, and reports regularly on our performance, ensuring we carry out our activities efficiently and well, and that we are appropriately funded.
我们受到在其网络许可下的ORR监管。许可证有六个部分，涵盖不同的操作领域：
- network management and timetabling
- 限制活动
- 与第三方打交道
- information requirements
- corporate matters
- standard industry obligations.
Safety regulation
ORR也充当我们的安全调节器。我们对我们的健康和安全性能负责，但我们与一系列行业机构密切合作，以不断监测和改善铁路的安全。
